Sometimes you can worry too much about the graphics and not about playability. Old games like donkey kong, mario brothers, and pac man were simplistic, but fun. There are games 20 years newer with 200 times the power that you wouldn't play as much.
It appears Nintendo got it right this time.
Our Wii is on the way from Costco now. I have no interest in the PS3. If I want great graphics, I'll play it on the computer. Besides, I can build my own content for games on the computer.
When Mass Effect (Bioware) comes out for Xbox360, we may purchase it then.
Proof of concept...nintendo will note the popularity of the controllers and I'll bet you'll see them update the graphics if the Wii really takes off!
My sister wants to buy the wii just for the sports game bowling , tennis .... She's in her 30's
I Was smart I Asked lots of ???? of the Gamestop employees . I Knew that they only had 32 pre-buys . I was 7 in line , & happy !
I Did freeze though , the wind was crazy that day !
The day the wii came out it was only offered to pre-buys , & I Was 1st in line ! It was great got their at 8:45 & they opened their doors at 8:55 ! Got the wii by 9:00 !
